edit: sorry for the delay guys, my girl caught a flat and i had to race to her.

these instructions should help you guys get rid of the crap you dont use and streamline your appdrawer. If you are unsure about removing anything, just backit upbefore removing. If you run into any problems afterwards, you can always reinstall it.

ENJOY!!! see ya later blur, appreciate the friendship, but you have to go.

Is there a "rooting for dummies" thread that tells you the benefits, and potential issues?

And a list of what potential bloatware there is already installed, so we can go down a list to remove things we don't want?

(Basically, if I screw up my wife's new phone, she'll kill me.. LOL!)

I've flashed bios and does firmware updates on other devices.. this sounds like a similar task.

After you remove the bloatware, do to see any performance increases?

Unfortunately I don't know where the therad is for "dummies", but the list I posted above is most the bloatware, and it's similar. There is definitely a speed increase and I'm hoping to see a battery increase.

The easiest way to get rid of the bloatware is Titanium Backup.

Install the appp, when it says root problem click "Problem's" and when that's done go back in, click the backup tab, and click on whatever you don't want and click freeze.
